Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Building an enterprise platform for digital health companies to perform compliant machine learning
978358
The MedStack Control platform is currently optimized for running web-based applications that integrate with external services and APIs. In listening to our existing and potential customers and performing market research, we’ve identified a market need for privacy compliant machine learning machine learning on datasets containing protected health information (PHI).
We’ve identified that Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers best-in-class machine learning resources that maximize performance and cost savings given their configuration of Nvidia GPUs.
MedStack Control will leverage an orchestrator to manage infrastructure and workloads deployed to cloud environments. Our research leads us to believe that Kubernetes is a suitable orchestrator.
